In a recent statement, popular singer Peter Okoye, known as Mr P and one half of the renowned duo P-Square, has publicly addressed and refuted allegations of song theft made by his twin brother and former bandmate, Paul Okoye, also known as Rudeboy.

In an Instagram post, Mr P stated, “Person no dey thief him own Property! It is well! Thank you, @iam_vampire_official, for the clarification.” He reiterated that proper credit is due to all involved in the creation of “Winning,” including Calypso60 and co-producer Goldswarm.
Mr P concluded his message with a heartfelt plea for peace, expressing a desire to enjoy his newfound single without further distractions. “Now that I have a new single out, please allow me to enjoy my new single, WINNING, in peace. Enough of the negativity!” he wrote. The single, “Winning,” is currently available on all major music platforms, encouraging fans to enjoy the music while steering clear of the ongoing tensions.
